Back to the seeds

 Friday afternoon, it was time to water our fava bean plants.  They especially needed it before the weekend.

 One person from each group filled a graduated cylinder with 60 ml of water.  Then they had to show it to their group to double check that it was 60 ml.

 The plants were watered.

 The purpose of our experiment is "Do fava beans grow best in direct or indirect light?'  Because of this, we had a discussion of what that even meant!  Were the pots in the window with the sunlight hitting them in direct or indirect? 

Direct sunlight was decided (correctly!) and then there was a discussion of where in the room would we place some of the plants so they were in indirect light.  By the sink was the consensus. 

 The hard part was decided which groups plants would be moved to the indirect light area.  Two groups chose to move, but 4 wanted to stay in the window with direct light.  However, previously, they had all agreed that 3 would be in each place.

Choosing a number I had written down was the deciding factor.  The group that chose the number closest to the number I had chosen moved to the indirect lighting. 

As I'm writing this at home, I cannot remember which groups are where...but we'll keep you posted!
